So you know Bleach is crack.
Bleach doesn't become full crack till episode ~30. Then you will be watching the episodes back to back, no matter how hard you try to stay away from it.
I thought the first episode was really good, but few people didn't like it. You probably won't get addicted off the first episode.
What episode are you at darkone? Once they get to Soul Society it kicks ass, I thought it would suck, but its so freaking bad ass. BANKAI!
